Fun with Nature

It's great to have Spring popping by cos' we can finally go outdoors without freezing.

It's amazing how the landscape can change from a dull brown to a beautiful green scenery just within a week. And to see flowers popping up one by one and subsequently seeing them in full bloom.

It's indeed refreshing to be back with nature again.

So, we brought our little darlings to a stable to see horses. Though mummy has taken pictures with real horses before, the feelings were a little different when standing at the entrance of the stable, seeing only the heads of the horses sticking out. In the video, my Sweetie just woke up from her afternoon nap, guess it's a big surprise for her to see a horse strolling past her.

We had fun watching the horses galloping round the field. The best is when the jockey stops by to let us have a close contact with his horse. My darlings were excited too to touch the horse (the feelings are different when you are near it or watching it at a distance). The visit helps to strengthen my Cutie's understanding of what a stable is while my Sweetie is now better at identifying a horse and especially it's long tail.

We also had a visit to a strawberry farm. Note the big strawberry hairclips on their hair, hee... Mummy loves this visit cos' finally, my darlings know where strawberries come from (I hope). Last year, this Cutie told me that oranges come from SUPERMARKETS when I asked her where they come from (hee... guess it's a universal answer from modern days' kids).


The strawberries were indeed big, juicy and sweet. Of course, there were small and medium sizes too. My darlings love this visit very much, haha... cos' of the freeflow of strawberries for sampling from the auntie selling them (strawberries are their favourites).

On the way home, we popped by to a cow farm. But the smell from the cow-dung is a little over-bearing. My darlings were actually quite frightened to see so many cows, so ended that mummy had to stretch my leg behind them and quickly snapped a picture of them.

Bet we will have more nature visits here in Korea.
